Question : By selling 4 articles for Re. 1, a man loses 4%. Had he sold three articles for Re. 1, the profit would have been:

Option 1: 30%

Option 2:

28%

Option 3:

16%

Option 4:

12%

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer:

28%


Solution : Let the cost price of one article be $\mathrm{C}$.
If the man sells $4$ articles for Re. 1.
Then the selling price of one article $=\frac{1}{4} $
Given that he loses $4\%$.
So, $\frac{1}{4} = \mathrm{C} - 4$% of $\mathrm{C}= \frac{96}{100}C$
$⇒\mathrm{C} = \frac{25}{96} $

Question : If x : y = 3 : 4, then the value of $\frac{5x-2y}{7x+2y}$ is:

Option 1: $\frac{7}{25}$

Option 2: $\frac{7}{23}$

Option 3: $\frac{7}{29}$

Option 4: $\frac{7}{17}$

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{7}{29}$


Solution : $x : y=3:4$
$⇒\frac{x}{y}=\frac{3}{4}$
Now, $\frac{5x-2y}{7x+2y}=\frac{5\frac{x}{y}-2}{7\frac{x}{y}+2}$
Putting $\frac{x}{y} = \frac{3}{4}$ in above equation, we get,
$=\frac{5\times \frac{3}{4}-2}{7\times \frac{3}{4}+2}$
$=\frac{15-8}{21+8}$
$=\frac{7}{29}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{7}{29}$.

The cost price (CP) = Rs. 50
The selling price (SP) = Rs. 30
So, the loss percentage = $\frac{CP-SP}{CP}×100=\frac{50-30}{50}×100=\frac{20}{50}×100=40\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 40%.
